  • Swiss Schools and Lifestyle Guide
    Swiss SCHOOL & LIFESTYLE GUIDE A guide to the educational system in Switzerland and the best locations to live, created in partnership with Carfax Consultants. Welcome letter Switzerland remains one of the world’s most revered and sought after locations and it is no surprise as we explore on page 6; the country is consistently rated strongly for its high standards of living, excellent education, quality of life, a robust and stable economy and favourably low levels of tax, crime and poverty. Private individuals who are drawn by this safe and dependable environment regularly approach Knight Frank to seek our recommendations and guidance from over 12 years working across this market. The Knight Frank Swiss Schools and Lifestyle Guide was developed alongside Carfax Consultants and the collective knowledge from our network of over 13 offices spread strategically throughout the country to provide a comprehensive overview of the top private schools, plus a guide to some of the various lifestyle options available and information on how to purchase. The guide considers both clients seeking permanent residence (see pages 4 & 5) as well as those who desire a holiday home or just to invest in Swiss real estate as a non-resident (see page 12). The Benefits of a Swiss Education (see page 14) offers a unique insight by Carfax Consultants for those not so familiar with the variety of options on offer. The experience that Carfax can provide to help clients place their children within the right school is paramount to a successful relocation. We hope you find the information useful and if you have any questions, or wish to find out more about how our team can help you find your dream home, with great educational options close by, please get in touch.

En 2013, les 4 principaux affluents du Léman (le Rhône amont, la Dranse, l'Aubonne et la Venoge) ainsi que le Rhône à l’aval de Genève et ses affluents (l'Arve et l'Allondon) ont été suivis. L’observation des résultats sur ces 40 dernières années permet de montrer pour le phosphore réactif soluble, l’effet de la déphosphatation dans les STEP, pour l'azote minéral total, l'absence de la dénitrification dans les STEP et du maintien d'une fertilisation azotée au même niveau pendant près de 20 ans, et enfin pour le chlorure, l'impact des apports industriels et du salage des routes. Le suivi des apports en nutriments montre une relative stabilité depuis plusieurs années et pourrait être espacé dans le temps au profit du renforcement du suivi des apports par les micropolluants qui est l’enjeu majeur du plan d’action 2011- 2020 de la CIPEL.

    Article Bottom-current and wind-pattern changes as indicated by Late Glacial and Holocene sediments from western Lake Geneva (Switzerland) GIRARDCLOS, Stéphanie, et al. Abstract The Late-Glacial and Holocene sedimentary history of the Hauts-Monts area(western Lake Geneva, Switzerland) is reconstructed combining high resolution seismic stratigraphy and well-dated sedimentary cores. Six reflections and seismic units are defined and represented by individual isopach maps, which are further combined to obtain a three-dimensional age-depth model. Slumps, blank areas and various geometries are identified using these seismic data. The sediment depositional areas have substantially changed throughout the lake during the end of the Late-Glacial and the Holocene. These changes are interpreted as the result of variations in the intensity of deep lake currents and the frequency of strong winds determining the distribution of sediment input from the Versoix River and from reworking of previously deposited sediments within the lacustrine basin. The identified changes in sediment distribution allowed us to reconstruct the lake's deep-current history and the evolution of dominant strong wind regimes from the Preboreal to present times.
